384: Chapter 384 Supreme Immortal Vein, Langhuan Immortal Mountain!

Seated beside Lu Yuan, Gu Qingxue, Ji Yaoguang, Su Yueli, and the other women did not show the slightest jealousy or displeasure upon hearing this; instead, they looked at each other and smiled.

Back in the Xuanhuang Realm, they had already accepted this younger sister Shuiyue, who appeared cold on the outside but was actually as gentle as water.

After spending time together these past few days, they had become as close as sisters.

Now, it was merely a matter of going through the official motions in Daluo Heaven to give Fairy Shuiyue a legitimate status.

“Congratulations, Sister Shuiyue.” A holy smile, like a snow lotus on an iceberg, bloomed on Gu Qingxue’s cold and ethereal face as she gently took Fairy Shuiyue’s hand.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and stood up unhurriedly from behind the white jade table.

Dressed in white, his figure was as upright as a sword, and every gesture carried a naturally born aura of a superior.

He picked up the cup of top-grade nectar brewed from a ten-thousand-year-old immortal spring with both hands and offered a toast to Shui Changdong in the main seat from afar.

“Senior, you are too kind.” Lu Yuan’s voice was steady and powerful, carrying a convincing calmness. “Yue’er was originally my wife who shared trials and tribulations with me. I have seen all the hardships she endured in the Lower Realm.

As for this marriage, I am naturally a hundred times willing and will certainly not fail Senior's entrustment today.”

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drained the immortal nectar in the cup.

“Good! Splendid! Hahaha!”

Seeing Lu Yuan answer so decisively and without any affectation or hesitation, Shui Changdong was even more delighted and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Since we are family, then as an Elder, I naturally cannot be stingy!”

Shui Changdong’s laughter subsided, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly flipped his palm in the void, accompanied by a low spatial hum.

“Buzz—”

An ancient scroll, emitting an extremely dense, almost materialized Immortal Qi and made entirely of the tanned skin of some unknown primeval Immortal Beast, abruptly appeared in his palm.

Dense, complex, and profound golden formation runes flowed upon that scroll.

In the bottom right corner of the scroll, a golden seal emitting a faint pressure of immortality was prominently stamped—it was the Golden Immortal Dharma Seal, representing the absolute will and ownership of a Golden Immortal powerhouse of Daluo Heaven!

“This is what I promised you before!”

With a flick of Shui Changdong’s wrist, the scroll turned into a streak of golden light and landed steadily on the jade table in front of Lu Yuan.

“This is the ten-million-year land deed for Langhuan Immortal Mountain—a top-tier famous mountain containing a top-grade Immortal Spiritual Vein! From today onwards, it is the supreme Foundation for you, Lu Yuan, and your Qingyun Dao Sect to establish yourselves in this Daluo Heaven!”

top-grade Immortal Spiritual Vein! Langhuan Immortal Mountain!

As soon as these two terms were spoken, the sound of people drawing in cold breaths suddenly filled the hall.

Even the well-traveled Elders of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but show looks of extreme greed and even jealousy in their eyes.

That was a top-grade Immortal Spiritual Vein! A strategic resource capable of autonomously absorbing the Chaos Qi of the Universe and continuously nurturing top-grade immortal crystals! A single top-grade immortal vein was enough to support the prosperity of a super Sect for tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years.

Would Shui Changdong really be willing to give away such a priceless treasure?

Looking at the heavy land deed on the table, a hard-to-detect light also flashed through Lu Yuan’s eyes.

He reached out to pick up the deed, feeling the vast Immortal Qi coming from it, and a satisfied arc curved at the corner of his mouth.

However, after Shui Changdong handed over the deed, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

He lightly tapped the table and said in a deep voice, “Nephew, even among close brothers, accounts should be settled clearly. There is something I must explain to you thoroughly before handing over the deed, lest any resentment arises in the future.”

“Although this Langhuan Immortal Mountain is a one-in-a-million blessed land with extremely dense Spiritual Qi, and that top-grade Immortal Spiritual Vein has never been mined on a large scale, making it an absolutely excellent treasure land for founding a Sect...”

Shui Changdong paused, his gaze fixed on Lu Yuan, and his tone became incomparably serious: “However, its geographic location... is a total hot potato!”

“Oh?” Lu Yuan’s hand holding the deed paused slightly, and he raised an eyebrow, putting on an air of listening attentively. “How hot is it? Even a Golden Immortal giant like you, Father-in-law, finds it troublesome?”

Shui Changdong gave a bitter smile and shook his head. He pointed into the void in the center of the hall, and a map of the power distribution in northern Daluo Heaven instantly manifested.

He pointed at a light spot highlighted in red on the map and sighed, “Look, this mountain is located exactly at the absolute boundary between the two super-hegemons, the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Taixuan Immortal Sect! Or rather, it is the core buffer zone formed by these two Sects over years of fighting for spheres of influence!”

“These two great immortal Sects have been fighting openly and secretly for this blessed land and the top-grade immortal vein beneath it for no less than tens of thousands of years.

They have fought thousands of battles, large and small, with countless Profound Immortal Elders killed or injured, yet neither has ever been able to overcome the other.”

Shui Changdong’s tone carried a deep sense of helplessness. “Although my Jiuding Chamber of Commerce obtained this legal land deed protected by the laws of the Immortal King through legitimate business means by a stroke of luck...

Due to the covetous eyes and secret pressure of these two hegemons, the Chamber has never dared to send people for large-scale development all these years, only allowing it to lie fallow.”

He looked intently at Lu Yuan and warned word by word, “Nephew, if you take over this Langhuan Immortal Mountain and establish a Sect on it, it will be equivalent to driving a nail right under the noses of the Taiyi and Taixuan Sects! This is tantamount to declaring war on both and completely offending two great immortal Sects! The danger involved is like dancing on a knife's edge; any slight slip will result in eternal damnation and the destruction of your Sect!”

Shui Changdong said these words with his own selfish motives.

He originally thought that after hearing about the shocking Karma involved behind Langhuan Immortal Mountain and the death threats from the two hegemons, Lu Yuan would find it troublesome, hesitate, or even choose to refuse after weighing the pros and cons, asking instead for a slightly inferior but much safer territory.

After all, no matter how strong a person was, facing two massive entities with unfathomable Foundations and Golden Immortals or even Immortal Kings presiding over them, it was inevitable to feel inadequate.

Who would have thought that after Lu Yuan finished listening to Shui Changdong’s earnest and even alarmist analysis of the pros and cons...

Not only did he not show the slightest bit of worry or retreat, but on that sharp-featured face, a fanatical light that made one's heart skip a beat actually bloomed.

“Hahahaha!”

A burst of incomparably arrogant laughter, seemingly capable of piercing through metal and stone, suddenly erupted from Lu Yuan’s mouth, echoing in the hall for a long time.

In that laughter, there was no fear of facing powerful enemies, only a kind of disdain and unruliness that viewed the heroes of the world as nothing.

“Hahaha! Senior, you worry too much!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yuan swept that hot land deed into his Universe in the Sleeve.
